Gardai issue advise for Show Visitors

10th August 2017

GARDAI have issued advice for those travelling to the Tullamore show or other events on Sunday, August 13.

The N52 will be closed from 7am to 8pm between the Blueball and Clonminch Road roundabout and there will be no access except for Emergencies.

All people travelling to work or any other events are asked to follow diversions and to leave sufficient time to get to their destination.

Gardai are reminding all attendees to plan their trip to the event taking note of diversions. They also urge people to remember where they are parked. Taking a photograph of the parking area is a good way or write down the colour and number of your parking zone.

Also they advise those attending not to leave valuable property visible in their vehicle.

Plan before leaving the car park, which lane you need to be on as contra flows will occur on leaving the event and take directions of Gardai on point duty on routes.

Exhibitors and Livestock owners are asked to attend as per instructions and have passes displayed clearly for Gardai and Stewards to see.

Please be advised that arriving late in the day will result in delays in accessing the show site as large traffic volumes of attendees leave location
